==Personal life and background==

She was first cousin of actress [[Shobhna Samarth]], the mother of actresses [[Nutan]] and [[Tanuja]].<ref>[http://www.rediff.com/movies/1999/oct/29sama.htm Rediff On The NeT, Movies: Down memory lane with Shobhana Samarth]</ref> Since 1983, she had been living mostly a reclusive life.<ref>[http://www.upperstall.com/people/nalini_jaywant.html Nalini Jaywant profile]</ref>

==Career==
In her teens, she appeared in [[Mehboob Khan]]'s ''[[Bahen (film)|Bahen (1941)]]'', a film about a brother's obsessive love for his sister. She performed in a few more movies before filming ''Anokha Pyaar'' (1948). In 1950, she garnered fame when she became a top star with her performances opposite [[Ashok Kumar]] in ''[[Samadhi (1950 film)|Samadhi]]'' and ''[[Sangram (1950 film)|Sangram]]''. ''Samadhi'' was a patriotic drama concerning [[Subhas Chandra Bose]] and the [[Indian National Army]]. Although the leading movie magazine of the day, ''Film India'', called it "politically obsolete", it enjoyed success at the box office. She also worked with [[Shammi Kapoor]] in romantic classic Mehbooba (1954) and comedy film Hum Sab Chor Hai (1956). ''[[Sangram (1950 film)|Sangram]]'' was a crime drama in which Nalini played the heroine reforming the anti-hero. She and [[Ashok Kumar]] performed together in other films, such as ''Jalpari'' (1952), ''Kafila'' (1952), ''Nau Bahar'' (1952), ''Saloni'' (1952), ''Lakeeren'' (1954), ''[[Naaz (film)|Naaz]]'' (1954), ''[[Mr. X (1957 film)|Mr. X]]'' (1957), ''[[Sheroo]]'' (1957) and ''Toofan Mein Pyar Kahan'' (1963).

Nalini remained an important leading actress through the mid-1950s, appearing in such films as ''[[Rahi (film)|Rahi]]'' (1953), ''[[Shikast (1953 film)|Shikast]]'' (1953), ''Railway Platform'' (1955)), ''Nastik'' (1954), ''[[Munimji]]'' (1955), and ''Hum Sab Chor Hain'' (1956). The 1958 film ''[[Kala Pani (1958 film)|Kala Pani]]'', directed by [[Raj Khosla]], was Nalini's last successful movie, for which she won the [[Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award]]. ''Bombay Race Course'' (1965) was the last film she made before retirement. After 18 years, she returned as a character actress in ''[[Nastik (1983 film)|Nastik]]'' which marked her last film appearance.

==Death==
Nalini Jaywant died lonely on 22 December 2010, aged 84, at her bungalow of 60 years at Union Park, [[Chembur]], [[Mumbai]], India. The death was not noticed by anyone until an ambulance carried her body after 3 days of her passing away. The neighbours reported that she had secluded herself from society and had not been meeting people after her husband's death. Her relatives were also not in touch with her for long.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/Actress-Nalini-Jaywants-death-shrouded-in-mystery/articleshow/7160625.cms|title=Actress Nalini Jaywant's 'death' shrouded in mystery}}</ref>
